Serious point: The 'correctness' of the use of Geronimo name would depend on which usage was intended:
* If it is intended as a genuine mark of respect for what the name Geronimo stands for, and an appreciation of the culture then it should stand
* If it is used in the 'jump off cliff' sense (as I suspect it might be, given the context of the project), then it is a misappropriation of a culture which is likely to cause offence, and should be dropped

2/ With regard to the name itself I believe that it would be an expression of anglo-saxon imperial arrogance to appropriate a cultural symbol of another culture in this way unless it was with the blessing of the culture concerned. That we have done it in the past, and that others may also be doing it is no defence. Consider how you would feel should some refrence from your cultural history be misappropriated in this way. We are a mixed community, from innumerable different backgrounds, surely between us we can exhibit some sensitivity.
